About this RSS feeds directory

rss.mobi is a public list of RSS feeds, built to be read on a phone. Anyone can add a feed, and anyone can find one and follow it in the reader they already use.

Adding a feed

Paste a site or feed address on the submit page. RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, Atom and JSON Feed are all read. There is no account and no review queue: a feed that can be read, has at least one post and is not spam is published at once. Whoever submits it gets a private edit link to change its topics or take it down.

What is shown

The feed's title, description and the latest posts it publishes: each post's title, a short excerpt, its date and a link to the original. Full articles are not copied. Posts older than ninety days drop out.

How feeds are checked

Every feed is fetched about once an hour by a crawler that identifies itself as rss.mobi/1.0 (+https://rss.mobi/about/). It sends the ETag and Last-Modified the site gave last time, so an unchanged feed costs a 304 and nothing else. A feed that fails is tried less and less often, and after ten failures in a row it is retired.

Taking a feed down

If you run a site and do not want its feed here, open the feed's page and use Report a problem → I own this site. You can also block the user agent above; a feed that keeps refusing is retired on its own.

For developers

The directory is available as JSON at /api/v1/feeds, and each feed at /api/v1/feeds/<slug>. No key is needed to read.
